	The Gurdjieff / De Hartmann Music 1/3
		When the German music publisher Schott published the first two volumes of piano scores in 1996, an important step was made towards a worldwide discovery of this oeuvre.
		The music of Gurdjieff's father, an ashok (troubadour) of an ancient tradition, Greek Orthodox liturgical music and Caucasian and Greek folk music -all these were woven into Gurdjieff's early youth.
		The Gurdjieff/de Hartmann music can be divided into the music for the Movements demonstrations in 1923/1924 as they were performed by a 36-piece orchestra and the compositions written between July, 1925 and May, 1927.

	miq productions Rebetika music website
		The playing style of rebetika is unique, not really related to any other folk fiddle tradition, involving a lot of portamento (sliding) between notes, and a bowing style which pushes and pulls the dynamics of every note.
		Though I can't say for sure, it appears that greek guitar playing at this time is identical to the lauta playing, and that perhaps one would find one rather than the other had more to do with whatever instruments were around rather than a different instrumental tradition.
		The accordian appears in most of the Rebetika music with Ladino (Sefardic) influences, and as such there is often little difference between much Rebetika and the same period of Klezmer music.

	Mikis Theodorakis - film composer and champion of Greek folk music
		But his country was to experience further upheaval during the Greek civil war, and suffered immensely at the hands of the fascist dictator Papadopolous.
		Theodorakis' style has its roots in Greek traditional music with many of his instrumental tracks played on traditional Greek instruments like the Bouzouki (or Bazouki), which is a stringed instrument like a lute with eight strings.
		Traditional Greek music varies in style from island to island and can also vary in mood, but often seems to convey a carefree enjoyment and celebration of life.

		French composer of Greek parentage and Romanian birth.
		In 1947 he arrived in Paris, where he became a member of Le Corbusier's architectural team, producing his first musical work, Metastasis, only in 1954, based on the design for the surfaces of the Philips pavilion to be built for the Brussels Exposition of 1958.
		His later output, chiefly of orchestral and instrumental pieces, is large, many works from the mid-1970s onwards striking back from modernist complexity to ostinatos and modes suggestive of folk music.
